Fun in the sun!

Well....today was the first day that all three of us got into the pool. WOW, it was cold. Once you got use to it, it was not that bad. Of course, Rich did not get in. It has to be bath water before he will get in. So he was the picture taker. The boys had fun playing "treasure hunt". We have these sinking sticks that you throw and then you go and hunt for them. It is a great thing for learning to hold your breath. Tucker has done so good. This is the first full summer that he will not have to wear the "baby floaties". Trenton is such a fish, I am sure that Tucker will be right there with him.

Strawberry Sunday!

Well....today was some kind of a day. Today we went to the strawberry patch in Wartrace and picked fresh strawberries. Tucker was in strawberry heaven. He really had some self control though, he never ate one strawberry.....until we were in the car. He had a half of basket by himself. Amazingly he did not get sick. Trenton thought it was cool, but did not want to try one. It reminded Rich of growing up and going to orchards and picking fruit with his parents. We never did anything like that while I was growing up, of course there are not many strawberriy patches in Las Vega. So the boys and I got to do a first first together today. It was so much fun and look forward to the fall, when the apples will be ready. Now that will be heaven for Trenton.

Great day in the neighborhood!

Well....today was a wonderful day. We started out the day with pancakes then off to Lowe's. Lowe's is our ToysRus store. We got a couple bags of mulch and Rich got a few pond plants. We then can home and collected a few large rocks for that "natural" look. I think we made out pretty well. Things around here change so often. Someone once told me my life was unsettled because I moved things so much. I disagree with that person, you have not lived until your yard is moved around and you have several trees that have had different views. Life is good, Live a little! Move some crap around!

Kindergarten Graduation!!

Well...today was Tucker's big graduation from Kindergarten! How sweet it was to see all those innocent faces singing and looking so happy. It was such a bittersweet thing to watch. I remember the day I found out I was pregnant and the day Tuckman was born. He is truly a blessing to our lives. He has such a humor and sweetness to him. He also has a mischievous side to him (nothing like his parents). One day we will look back on this day and realize that the years have flown by. These are the times you thank God for all your blessings, today was a definite good day.We love you sweet baby boy of ours!

Only 5 more days of school!!!

Do they not look excited or what? Ok this was a while ago, but I could not get the cord for the phone. But this says it all right her. Trenton has not had homework all week.....he is in heaven, as is daddy :)

Happy Birthday Joshie!

Today is my baby brother's birthday. He is 28 years old. This picture was taken when he was at the emergency room and had been given morphine. (I love taking pictures at your worst:) I hope you have a great birthday Josh. We do not say it very much, but I love you. Life without you and April would have not been fun growing up. I appreciate you and I hope you have a wonderful birthday Joshie!

Tennessee Summer Fun!

Well, We went out to my mom's house for my brother's birthday. Happy Birthday Josh on Monday! Well Josh bought a slip and slide for the kiddies to play on. They had a great time. It brought back memories of my childhood when we first moved here and my dad and grandpa laid down black plastic and we drenched the plastic with Joy liquid detergent. Many times we slide right off the plastic, but we had alot of fun. Trenton, Tucker, Amerly and Caden had fun and that is what makes life good.
